2️⃣ How SDH affect lupus management

Low income, limited health literacy, language barriers or caregiving responsibilities (affects mainly women) can reduce access to medication, appointments, and follow-up, leading to irregular treatment & worse disease control.

1️⃣ SDH 🆚 presentation & diagnosis (example)

Patients from ⬇️income or minority backgrounds often face delays in diagnosis due to limited access to specialists, low health literacy or stigma.

As a result, lupus may be more severe, with organ damage, at diagnosis

We show that:
📉 lower education, lower income, taking sick leave, and being separated/divorced/widowed were associated with more damage and higher mortality even in an European setting like Sweden.
❗ No association with being unemployed or foreign-born.
